About the research
Iowa State University’s Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS) will provide support services to DBE businesses in Iowa with the goal of increasing their overall participation in Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) let projects. CIRAS will leverage existing partnerships and programs to increase awareness of the DBE/SS program and leverage other federal programs such as the Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) and Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to provide needed services to DBEs.
